Wells
Road in Doylestown Township to be Closed and Detoured for 13 Months
for Route 202 Parkway Construction
Wells Road in Doylestown
Township, Bucks County, will be closed to through traffic and
detoured for approximately 13 months beginning Monday, June 28 for
construction of the new Route 202 Parkway.
The closure of Wells Road,
which will extend between Lower State Road and Turk Road, will allow
crews to build a bridge over the Parkway and reconstruct Wells Road
approaching the new structure. Wells Road will remain open to
local traffic between Lower State Road and Valley Circle, and from
Turk Road to Radcliff Drive. Non-truck traffic will be detoured
along Lower State Road, New Britain Road, Sauerman Road and Turk
Road. Due to a weight-restricted bridge on Turk Road near Sauerman
Road, trucks will be detoured along Lower State Road, New Britain
Road, Easton Road, Edison Furlong Road, Quarry Road and Turk Road.
The detour is scheduled to remain in place until August 2011. The
work on Wells Road is part of the $42.2 million contract to build
the northern section of the Route 202 Parkway between Pickertown
Road in Warrington Township and Route 611 in Doylestown Township.
Additional
information on the Route 202 Parkway is available on line at
www.us202-700.com.
PennDOT reminds motorists
they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check
traffic conditions on major highways before heading out.
